Course Description

This course will engage teachers in important conversations, practices and research related to student engagement with and through reading and writing. Teachers will work with several tools to engage students who feel disconnected from the classroom. The goal is for teachers to create an environment where students establish, through writing, control and ownership of their learning, habits of reflection and self-discover, empathy for others, and power through mastery of the tools of literacy.
